Thanks guys :slight_smile:

King - get back to your rock ent before I whip you! And yeah, I will be adding more trim once I’ve had a nice sleep :slight_smile:

Cougar - thanks! The trim on the helmet is similar to that on the torso armour, but it’s a different pattern. I’m still going to be adding more trim to the bottom edges, and also the nosepiece later :slight_smile:

sleep is for the weak…WORK WORK WORK :wip:

:wink:


#266

is there some thing i can say that would mean more then breathtaking id so thats what this is :slight_smile:

Hey Leigh, the torso of this armor is so awesome, good job : ). I think the trim of the <insert name of armor piece here> on the torso looks funny for some reason though. The part that has the gold inlay on it has such a different look. Granted it may be a different material that borders it, but it looks a bit like…orange plastic with black spots painted on it.

The gold inlay is a nice touch, but in some pics you cant even see it. Maybe thats intentional, but I think it would be nice if it were just a little more apparent.

Keep going, it looks good : )

what the helmet needs is some way for the crown to fasten to it… unless it’s been made all one peice. just needs to be made out of a few peices as these things most often are. once it’s got that it should look the part, maybe teh edges could be sharper too. but htis is finnickety really, great job, keep going :slight_smile:


#269

come on liegh, these are wonderful of course, but we REALLLLLLLLY want to see some flat maps. I really am eager to see how everything looks at the ā€œpaintingā€ stage. :):):slight_smile:

Otherwise, you’re AMAZING, as always!


#270

i cant see the gold… did you remove it, or is it just hard to see from far away?

either way it shoudl be strengthened so you can see it from far away… a littel splash of colour amongst all that rust would go a long way!

goooOOOOoooo LEIGH! (cheerleader chant)


#271

I like the fact that you have the inlays not sooooo very apparant.It looks more realistic this way.If they were made more intense or visible they would scream look at me look at me I am sooo un-natural,they would look like contrived pieces of fake articles. Just put there for that added detailed look for modeling purposes and not as they would look in the Real World or Middle Earth. :slight_smile:

             What do you think of a colorful plume of feathers.....Well actually the remnants of what was once a color plume of feathers. Just a thought for something more......:) 

              Keep going,it's all very well done and fun to see develope.:thumbsup: :beer:

mohh - get your jaw off you desk, and start an entry as well, man!!

I wish I had the time to even attempt a project like this. Right now, my wife is due to have my third child any day now and that would just put everything in the back burner for a while. I’m content with cheering you on from the sidelines. You are doing an awesome job; you truly are amazing and have some mad skills! :xtreme:


#273

Hehe, your welcome leigh :slight_smile:


#274

Yeah, what happened to the gold? It added even more complexity to it. And helmet could use some gold or color anyway. Great :drool: :love:


#275

I have a crit on the modeling of the helmet. It looks too soft. The corners are rounded. I know, a helmet wouldn’t have sharpedges all over (ouch when wearing it) but still. And you can’t blame on wear and tear, since the rest of the armor has a few sharp corners :slight_smile:

Btw, I’m writing a looong mail for you. I’ll send it tonight! If I can finish it in time :wink:


#276

no update today? so sad. Thats ok, I know you work hard leigh! I’ll be patient!


#277

really awesom work :beer: :buttrock:

but i agree with urgaffel about the helmet… to soft… and just another minor critique… maybe too much dirty and rusted…

how many battles had he to fight? and if he’s still alive… he should have enough money to buy new armour and helmet :wink:

great anyway! :thumbsup:


#278

The armor is amazing…the level of detail is amazing!! The sword slash is the kind of touch that makes it alive!..ur best work ever about challenges!:applause: :applause: :applause:
